Balance,Does anyone have balance problems from excessive Belly apron
I am looking for a reason for a bad balance problem. I work 32 hours a
week as a cashier and stand. I walk some in a big store and do pretty good as long as I don't lean forward to far or pick anything up that weighs more than 10 pounds. I do terrible on uneven ground. My belly apron bounces around when I walk and I feel it is causing the problem . Does anyone else have this problem? I started out at 365, am female and only 5 foot one inch tall. My age is 52. I have lost down to 210 by following weight watchers on my own. Exercise is only the increased movement of work which i could not work before the weight loss. I don't feel that I am getting dizzy just my legs do what they want. Sometimes they feel like jello. I am stiff from something else but the more I move the better I feel. My insurance don't start till after the first of the year and I am waiting to go to the doctor till after that as I don't want any preexisting conditions to interfere with the change of them paying for tests etc. I have went to my family doctor in the past and he says my body is trying to find its center of gravity after the quick weight lose. I am ot sure that is the problem. my belly apron seems to me to be flopping around and throwing me off. Also i go regularly to a Chirpractor for i have several problem areas in my back, plus a bad ankle due to an old injury. He thinks maybe I just need to develope better muscles? I have a exercise ball to sit on to try and strengthen my back. I stand for 8 hours a day plus I unpack boxes and push carts full of stuff throughout the store,I am worried that I am going to get worse and not be able to work or heaven forbide fall. i love my job and NEED to work. It has been 2 yrs August since I started my weight lose journey and I am stuck at 210. Also I have massive wings , droppy love handles and a small amount of lose skin on my inner thighs. I wear a 1x now and used to wear a 5 or 6 x and sometimes that didn't fit! Girdles don't work as they slide down from the weight of my belly and are uncomfortable. Luckily I don't get sore under my apron even though it hangs down a good 8 or 9 inches and is very heavy yet. Any imput would be apprciated as I am feeling very alone and it is getting to me. Thanks in advance. |

Balance,Does anyone have balance problems from excessive Belly apron
Candy,
I can't say I'm in your situation, but it sounds like it would be quite difficult to cope with. I really think your doctor is the best person to speak to - perhaps you are having trouble with your ears? If you are determined to hold out until you get insurance, perhaps you could try Yoga - the class offered at my gym had some great exercises to help improve balance. As I'm not a super bendy person, and prone to clumsiness I found these exercises to be really beneficial. If your gym doesn't offer a program, perhaps you can find a video. K. |

Balance,Does anyone have balance problems from excessive Belly apron
Kakou, Thank you for your input. I have had my ears checked and that isn't the problem. Yoga seems like it is worth a try. I need to buy a tape though as with work I don't have much time for scheduling a class, if they have them. I still have a horrible balance problem on uneven ground but at work seem to do fair. I have missed 2 Chiropractor appointments and my legs don't feel like jello anymore? Maybe i am going to the wrong Chropractor or too often? It is so hard to know what to do. Again ,thanks for an answer to my post. I am at a standstill weight loss wise and it is hard not to get discouraged. I have lost 140 pounds and can't seem to get under that. I am only 5 foot 1 inch tall and still weigh in at 210 so i should be able to lose more. I have tried redoing my eating and having less points and moving more but am still going no where! |

I had trouble with Tai Chi at first with the one-legged stands and I know I have long had a balance problem. But the longer I stuck with it, the easier it got. |
